What is in the hot dogs? Hot dog meat, and AMERICAN CULTURE!

What is in the hot dogs? Hot dogs, sausage & voting on judicial nominees, - you don't want to see how they're made.

Someone who was much hungrier than I've ever been. Through most of human history that could have been pretty much anyone... That's very touching. But what does it mean? The whole of the human story is overcoming adversity, keyword being overcoming. Nothing wrong with eating bugs and dirt, if the goal is making a personal vow that your kids won't have to.

It means I'm DAMN GLAD to live in a society where even the poor are fat.
That has NEVER happened before, anywhere, at any time. EVER.
It's quite remarkable.

"I was visiting an area close to Mexico City where these larvae seem to be the staple diet," said Mr Wolf, 27, who prides himself on the authentic Latin American ambience in his three restaurants. "The locals cook them in everything from soups to burritos. The larvae used to be a pest as they hatched into a beetle which can destroy crops. People started eating them simply to get rid of them." Gee, stepping on them would have given you the same result.

That's because you are thinking of real German food, like Brats and Kraut, Weiss and Strudel. Anything new that comes out of Europe now (especially France or Germany) has been tainted by the insane new European craze of relatavistic normalism, where there is nohing that is wrong or weird, only misunderstood.
"Relativistic normalism" is a relentless cancer, it seems.
Such a pity. I was in Dresden recently. If I remember correctly, I had venison and a beer large enough to drown a mule. Maggots weren't being served - maybe because they were too old (18-30) and were walking about the streets.

Reading the responses to this post, I remembered that I have a book, published in Philadelphia, PA in 1833, titled
'A New Family Encyclopedia; or Compendium of Universal Knowledge: Comprehending A Plain and Practical View of Those Subjects Most Interesting to Persons in the Ordinary Professions of Life.'
It does live up to its title, encompassing subjects from human anatomy, animal life, plants, medicine, industries, politics, etc.
In the chapter on cheese-making is this suggestion on how to have one's cheese covered with skippers-
'Skippers in Cheese - Wrap the cheese in thin brown paper, so thin that the moisture may strike through soon - dig a hole in good sweet earth about two feet deep, in which the cheese must be buried about 36 hours, and the skippers will be found all on the outside of the cheese; brush them off immediately, and you will find your cheese sound and good'.
Curiosity got the better of me, I did a google search for 'skippers in cheese' and found this link -
www.deathonline.net/decomposition/corpse_fauna/flies/cheese.htm
I found out more than I really wanted to know about skippers, cheese, and corpses.
I think I'll become anorexic first thing this morning.

"Is this a bad time to bring up cheese?"
Uhhhhhh. What exactly do you mean by "bring up"?
